Honey Like

Chapter 8

Vegas was about to go after Pete but he spotted the man coming back to him alone, looking furious, "Pe-" "You and I need to talk, right now!" He grabbed his arm and dragged him to an empty classroom making sure no one would see them, he closed the door with a loud thud and faced Vegas, "Are you gonna tell me what the fuck is going on??" Pete's voice was so loud but so broken, "Pete I- I'm sorr-" "Don't you fucking dare, don't say sorry and walk away as if nothing happened, I don't need your fucking apology, I need to know what happened vegas, why are you treating me like this, did I do something wrong? Did I hurt you or Venice?" "No no, you didn't Pete,"

"Then what! What happened for fucks sake I'm losing my mind here vegas, I can barely focus on anything and I can't sleep at night, even Venice is asking me why I'm not coming with you and I don't have an answer for him, do you know how much that breaks my heart vegas?!?! I'm dying from anxiety and you are here shamelessly flirting with Jolene after I thought...I thought" pete started crying unwillingly despite his attempts to hold it in, but he was still so angry, "After I thought that you had feelings for me, but I guess That's just how you treat all venice's teachers and I was never special to you, but it's still so fucking unfair vegas, so unfair," he ran out of breath after he screamed his lungs out and kept sniffling angrily,

vegas did not even imagine that he made him reach this state, he wanted to shoot himself right there for how stupid he was, "Pete I- I didn't know I'm really sorry," "How would you know when you didn't even look me in the face for more than 2 seconds, fucking asshole," vegas held his hands and Pete didn't push them away tho he had the urge to, "I know Pete, I'm a stupid piece of shit, And I hurt you a lot, but please let me explain to you, I- I love you Pete, I love you so much that it scares me because I've never felt this way for anyone before, These past days have been hell for me, but you have to understand something, I'm not a very nice guy Pete, the kind of work I do is not as noble as yours," "you mean the mafia thing?"

Vegas couldn't believe his ears, why did Pete sound so chill about it, "I- how.." "may I remind you that your cousin is dating my best friend, porsche told me before they even started dating, he wouldn't stop bragging about his mafia leader boyfriend, so naturally you must be in the same business, I already know that, and bold of you to assume that I would be scared of it," Pete explained after he leaned against a table, "But that day with Time, you were scared a-" "scared? Of that clown-looking asshole? I've seen some real scary shit in my life vegas and that, was not scary, what was scary is seeing Venice scared and me being helpless because I couldn't be violent in front of him, and I was scared because a guy like him definitely carries a gun around and I couldn't afford that, but I was not scared of him,"

"Time might not have been a threat but there are way worse people than him in my world Pete, I'm too scared I-" "But I'm not, because I can protect myself vegas, and I know you would protect me too, right?" "With my life." Vegas said firmly, his voice not shaking a bit, pete leaned closer to him, "If you ever make decisions for me again Kornwit you're not gonna like the outcome," "I won't, I'm sorry I was an asshole," Pete looked down at their intertwined hands still sniffling softly, "So, you really love me?" Vegas nodded quickly, "Yes, I love you so much Pete," "But...but you were flirting with her today, why were you flirting with her if you loved me?"

His sniffles turned to sobs and Vegas panicked, "Flirting with who? never I wasn't flirting with her baby I promise we were just talking about Venice," "Well don't! If you want to talk about Venice you have me, people are already saying that she will be Venice's mommy and you were flirting with her in front of me so I thought the rumours were true and my heart broke, it hurt a lot," he broke into tears again and vegas held his face gently, "listen to me, I was not flirting with her, I don't give a fuck about her and Venice will not get any mommy, only a papa, if you would like to of course," "what are you talking about I would fucking love to,"

Vegas smiled and hugged him, "I'm really sorry Pete, I never meant to hurt you, I love you so much and I promise to protect you and Venice with my life," he planted a soft kiss on his head and Pete looked up at him, "I love you too If you couldn't tell already, you and Venice mean the world to me now," he kissed vegas slowly but softly, then he rested his forehead against his and they stood there for a few moments just enjoying each other, "Let's go get venice," Pete said pulling away from the hug but vegas pulled him back, "go on a date with me?" "I already have plans tonight," Pete said and pecked his lips quickly then left the room,

"Venice!" Pete screamed cheerfully as he walked towards Macau and Venice, vegas was right behind him, the little boy ran to them and jumped into Pete's arms and buried his face in his neck sulking, "What's wrong kitten?" "Cau Cau is a meanie," he said pointing at Macau who was laughing, "Macau what did you do to my boy?" "I was just teasing him a bit, but he sulked real quick," "he must be sleepy, he gets moody when it's his nap time," "Whatever you say mama bear, I have to go now, see you later," "see you," Macau was about to leave when he spotted vegas, "Nice to see you khun vegas," he threw a teasing look at pete then left,

"He's nice I promise," Pete said after he saw Vegas's look, "I didn't say anything," vegas raised his hands and laughed, venice turned his head and reached for him without saying a word, "Come here grumpy baby," vegas took him in his arms and they left, he placed him in his car seat and Venice was already half asleep, "Pete come with us?" He mumbled with his last remaining consciousness, "Yes baby, Pete is coming with us, now go to sleep," he kissed him and went to his seat, pete was already buckling his seat belt, "you good?" "Yeah, let's go" Vegas leaned towards him and kissed his cheek, "Let's go,"

Vegas held Pete's hand with his throughout the whole ride, he kept playing with his fingers, caressing it softly and planting kisses on it occasionally, while Pete was watching him silently with his head resting against the seat, they arrived at their usual spot by the beach and got out of the car to get some fresh air, both leaning against the car in case venice wakes up, vegas wrapped one arm around Pete's shoulder and pulled him closer, "so, What are those plans exactly?" Vegas asked breaking the silence, pete laughed slightly cause he was expecting this question, "I'm watching a movie with Porsche," "where?" "My place," "can I come?" "No!" "Why??" "Because this time is for me and my best friend so we can complain about our jobs and boyfriends,"

Vegas smirked and moved his hands to Pete's waist, he pulled him towards him with one swift move, "Boyfriend," he kissed him slowly, "I'm your boyfriend" Another kiss, "You're my boyfriend" and another "We're boyfriends," then he kissed him on the forehead and rested his against it,
(Heartstopper fan here)

"I know, it still sounds unreal," Pete hugged him so tight that Vegas got worried a little bit, "what's wrong?" He asked while his hand was going up and down Pete's back gently, "I just...I was so scared the past few days, I thought I would never get to spend time with you again, I thought you hated me and that it was over, but now I'm literally your boyfriend and it still feels like a dream,"
"I know, I fucked up for both of us but I promise I'll make it up to you," Pete pulled away just enough to face Vegas, "just promise me one thing vegas, don't try to protect me like that ever again, you drifting away was so fucking painful and I don't want to experience it again, please,"

Vegas cupped his face so tenderly as if he's the most fragile yet precious thing ever, "I won't baby I promise," Pete smiled as his cheeks got red, "what is it?" "I love how you call me baby," Vegas smiled so widely and leaned closer leaving another kiss on Pete's lips, "I love you so much baby, My sweet smart lovely baby," Pete started laughing shyly and hugged him again, "I love you too, now let's go I don't wanna be late," he pulled away and got in his seat, "you can still cancel it, or do you want me to call kinn-" " no I won't, and no I don't, now start driving Khun vegas," "as you wish my love,"
